RG Holden Colorado, Modified #35

So here we have it, a RG Holden Colorado. This
ute being mildly yet well modified and thought out. It’s a great example of
showing you don’t need everything i.e. winch, lockers and high lift kits.

This is a well-balanced vehicle for practicality and overland/off-roading, also the vehicle itself (RG Holden Colorado) is well suited as an off-roader and traveling vehicle with its user friendly storage and rear seat adjustments.

Other vehicle manufactures could learn a thing or
two from the RG Colorado.

Is it starting to sound like a vehicle review? Well
yes, you will get both in this video, a modified vehicle and a bit of a vehicle
review.

Enjoy the video while Zak and I talk about his
vehicle.

Unstoppable moment in the RG Colorado:

Can't think of one…

Most scary situation in the Holden Colorado:

Getting stuck in a bog hole with water half
way up the door. Was scary when my mate, I was with, couldn’t pull me out as his
car wasn’t big enough.

Zak's modification tips:

Plastidipping behind the
front bar last a lot longer than paint and it won’t chip.

Xrox bars show a lot of colour coded body work
that looks much better in black.

Things
to lookout for with this model RG Colorado:

Fuel
Filters sit under the car and can be smashed easily as I have done before.

Top 3 tips with the vehicle:

1. Wrap the b pillar
to make it look like the higher spec models.

2.When fitting 33’s a bit of trimming is required on
the guard liners and body mount.

3.iDrive is a great upgrade when up-sizing wheels to
make it drive better.
